AR Rahman vs top 5 Indian highest-paid Indian singers
AR Rahman rules the charts with domination like no other. There isn’t any Indian singer who gets paid one crore for a song, let alone earning 3 crores. On the second spot is Shreya Ghoshal, who reportedly charges a sum of 25 lacs.
This means AR Rahman takes home almost 1100% higher remuneration than Shreya Ghoshal. Needless to say, his fee per song is much higher than other celebrities on the list.
Take a look at the top 5 highest-paid singers in India (salary per song):
- AR Rahman: 3 crores
- Shreya Ghoshal: 25 lacs
- Sunidhi Chauhan: 18-20 lacs
- Arijit Singh: 18-20 lacs
- Sonu Nigam: 15-80 lacs
Many of you must be wondering why Diljit Dosanjh is not on the list. It is because the reputed Punjabi singer earns mostly via his solo albums and concerts. His remuneration per song is 10 lakh+. So is the case with Mika Singh, Badshah, and Neha Kakkar.
